Jer er lige færdig med bogen "Silent Earth" af Dave Goulson, spændende og bekymrende og (vel)skrevet af en autoritet i insekt #biodiversitet . Nogen her der kender til et dansk ækvivalent der giver en god overblik om hvordan vores biodiversitet har det og hvilken opgaver giver mest mening i et #dkpol kontekst?

TIL about orchid bees.. the males gather complex compounds to make their own perfumes by visiting different flowers to collect "fragrances" and mixing them up in specially adapted pouches. In the process they pollinate the orchids. #NatureIsAmazing.

Unfortunately, said book is also to some extent a litany of despair, cataloguing the losses of insect #biodiversity.

I love the intermissions between chapters about different insects though..
